Real Madrid's Brazilian striker Ronaldo has said he cannot win
in the continuing debate about whether he is overweight or
not.
Having come back from a knee ligament injury just over a week ago
and scored three goals in two games, Spanish media have hailed his
return saying 'the king is back' and that he is thinner.
'I think it is absurd we spend so much time talking about my
weight. All the tests and controls are open for everyone to see,'
Ronaldo told a news conference, Spanish media reported on
Friday.
'What most annoys me is the way things come out in the press. When
you score goals you are great, when you don't you are fat.
The 30-year-old has had limited opportunities to shine following
knee surgery after the World Cup and then suffering twisted knee
ligaments in the King's Cup last month.
Real coach Fabio Capello, who has preferred Dutch striker Ruud van
Nistelrooy up front, has cited the Brazilian's need to lose weight
as one of the reasons he has not used him.
